แนวทางการป้องกันการทุจริตของหน่วยงานรัฐวิสาหกิจในประเทศไทย

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the causes and solutions of corruption in the state-owned enterprises and to synthesize the new knowledge to solve the corruption problems. Using qualitative research methodology, the researcher focused on in-depth interviews of the critical data from 15 key informants. The samples used in the research study were available in 2 groups: group A is various Thai state-owned enterprises leaders, and group B is a group of academicians who studied corruption issues in the public sector.

         The results showed that the cause of corruption is politicians' interference in the management of state-owned enterprises. Therefore, the causes of corruption in Thai state-owned enterprises can be divided into: 1) political aspect, 2) economic aspect, and 3) social and cultural aspect. In addition, there were two approaches to solve corruption problems: 1)  prevention of corruption methods in which the government must be strictly suppressing corruption. If officials corrupt, the commander must also be punished, and 2) politicians convicted corruption must be deprived of their political rights for life. It was found that there are two ways to solve corruption problems: 1) each state-owned enterprise must create an organizational structure with a strong corporate culture to prevent politicians from interfering in internal affairs, and 2) the Prime Minister must be decisive in suppressing corruption and be a good example to general government officials, and independent agencies such as the NACC must quickly review and draw conclusions.
